Games companies now are companies who are known to make consoles and software. What ever happened to board games?
The closest video-gamers tend to get to board games is Mario Party. But the proper board games which you can play as a family are just as fun as video-games!
In board games you don't have to worry about powercuts, loose wires, glitches, errors and faults. In video-games you get all this and more!
Have computer games completely monopolized the games market? Have they scrabbled your mind? Some people just don't have a cluedo! The board games market has gone ker-plunk which adds to the Frustration of parents who want to see thier kids do well in the Game-of-Life instead of going Round-The-Bend over pixels and sound FX. Kids who like board games tend to be caught in a Mouse-Trap because they have no one to Go-For-Broke with. This often leads people into a Mind-Trap but Masterminds at Chess and other strategy board games tend to be really clever people.
Nintendo have got the right idea by licensing a Pokémon version of Monopoly and Pokémon board games and Trading cards. Although these are all Pokémon they show that Nintendo knows there is more to life than pixels!
Board games are just as fun as computer and video-games. There are advantages of video-games as well though! You can play with people the other side of the world with no delay, you can do things you could never do in real life like instantly build a them park, run a hospital or even conquer the world! But this can lead to Epilepsy and poor eye-sight.
Anyway if you get some spare time, try playing a board game with a friend instead of blowing his head off. You'll be suprised at how cool it is to beat someone using your mind instead of your fingers.
